Prerequisite for Success!

It does not matter where you are in life or who your birth parents were. In God our Father's eyes you are unique and your steps are ordered by God Himself. Your past, your natural heritage, and your old character does not matter with God. He sees your potential according to who lives within you-Jesus the Christ and Holy Spirit.

Today I am speaking to all those who are believers, walking with Jesus, giving their lives as if it is not their own. So if any of these things are happening in your life, look up to the supplier of all our needs!

Trapped
Do you feel trapped and financially you cannot seem to get off ground zero? Are you physically dealing with chronic illness and have not had success in obtaining health through the medical field? Are you in a bad relationship and do not know how to resolve personal issues? Are you mentally,or physically off balance!? Are you just giving into an addiction over and over again and cannot seem to get the monkey off your back?

Tormented
Are you being tormented by well intentioned friends and relatives? Or are you tormented with your own thoughts of unworthiness or unforgiveness? Does past sin to haunt you? Is the enemy filling your mind with worldly pleasures that seem so much better then following the Lord Himself?

Outlawed 
Do you feel like you are living live on an isolated island with no friends, family, or kindred spirits nearby? Did your old friends decide to abandon you because you gave your life to Christ and now you want to return to the same old life of sin and corruption?

Timid
Are you the person who never steps out to try something new? Are you living in fear of rejection and fear of failure to the point that is the reason why you have failed and you are rejected?

The Good News is that if we submit to God and resist the devil he shall flee from us. So you might say it is good if I am dealing with an addiction, poor character behavior, financial needs, or even those well intentioned people, because you have become aware that you have to submit it to God.

Think on those things that are above. Ponder in your heart those promises laid out to you in the Word! Begin to count your blessings and give thanks for all you have. Take out your journal and read what the Lord has accomplished in your life and in the lives of others around you.

If we want to get on with God, Holy Spirit is faithful to point out our character flaws. If we are quiet and listen circumstance will arise providing a means for you to forgive, release, and be revived. God is faithful to fulfill those things within us as we heed His call. Are we willing to see our shortcomings and pursue Him? Are we willing to ask for forgiveness and press into His presence? It is in His Spirit we will find peace, healing, deliverance, and His agape love.

You see. it does not matter where you find yourselves. He has created us to worship Him. He has created us to love and cherish. He has known us before we were ever born. He knows the number of hairs on our heads. He has made us to be a friend of God.

Start this year off by submitting, by humbly approaching His throne-Raise your hands (even if you do not feel like it) and give God the honor and praise He rightfully deserves. When you do, Holy Spirit will guide the rest of your steps. If we are willing, He is able, more than able.
